Resolved To Live With All My Might

True Liberty Consists Only In The Power Of Doing What We Ought To Will, And In Not Being Constrained To Do What We Ought Not To Will

The Deceitfulness Of The Heart Of Man Appears In No One Thing So Much As This Of Spiritual Pride And Self-righteousness. The Subtlety Of Satan Appears In Its Height, In His Managing Persons With Respect To This Sin. And Perhaps One Reason May Be That Here He Has Most Experience; He Knows The Way Of Its Coming In; He Is Acquainted With The Secret Springs Of It: It Was His Own Sin. Experience Gives Vast Advantage In Leading Souls, Either In Good Or Evil.

If I Murmur In The Least At Affliction, If I Am In Any Way Uncharitable, If I Revenge My Own Case, If I Do Anything Purely To Please Myself Or Omit Anything Because It Is A Great Denial, If I Trust Myself, If I Take Any Praise For Any Good Which Christ Does By Me, Or If I Am In Any Way Proud, I Shall Act As My Own And Not God’s.

I Resolve To Live With All My Might While I Do Live. I Resolve Never To Lose One Moment Of Time And To Improve My Use Of Time In The Most Profitable Way I Possibly Can. I Resolve Never To Do Anything I Wouldn't Do, If It Were The Last Hour Of My Life.

Resolved, Never To Do Anything Out Of Revenge.
